Default Headlight Visor installation trouble.

I ordered the chrome visors for my headlight and fog lights from HD. No matter what I do I can't install them. The headlight doesn't fit at all even though I have the 7" housing. The fog light visors...when I put the visor on the chrome piece that goes around the fog light to hold it in place flat out will not fit.

Anyone else have this trouble? After 3 hours of fighting with them I just gave up.

It is a real pain in the *** but it is doable took me about and hour and 2 beers to get mine to fit.

I put a set on a Heritage and Deluxe and don't recall it being that difficult. I think there may have been a minor issue with aligning a rubber ring, gasket or something or other in there. But other than that an easy install.

Having said that, I'm personally convinced that the MoCo intentionally designs it's addons and instructions to frustrate the diyer.
